Abstract
Abstract: Psychodermatology examines the relationship between psychological factors and skin conditions. This overview introduces clinicians to key psychodermatologic disorders and their theoretical foundations, clinical presentations, and treatment approaches. Although theoretical support for various treatments is abundant, randomized controlled trials are limited due to funding challenges for generic medications. Despite this limitation, this article presents the most valuable and widely used treatment options for these conditions.
